Are there any useful learning resources out there that are essentially "build systems for dummies"?
I haven't built any complex projects from source manually so far (spoiled by meson + GNOME Builder's Flatpak integration), but I'm finding myself wanting a better understanding of what's actually happening under the hood to turn the stuff in my project folder into something runnable. I don't know much about tweaking meson.build files, for instance.
